Do you ever feel like the chores around your home never end? We’ve gathered a list of cleaning hacks for those of us looking to save time and money… continue reading and get cleaning!

Recycle old clothes into rags. Instead of spending money on cleaning cloths, just use old clothes you don’t wear anymore! Whenever your socks get holes in them or your t-shirts become tattered, keep them in a basket to use for dusting and scrubbing surfaces. 

Use baking soda for cleaner laundry. Just put your clothes in the washer, pour one half cup of baking soda, add your detergent and run the wash cycle. Your clothes will come out even brighter and cleaner!

Clean your air vents. If you haven’t checked your vents in a while, they are probably due for a cleaning. First, remove the dust with a vacuum brush tool. Then soak a rag with water and your preferred cleaning agent to scrape off the dust and debris.

Replace store-bought for DIY homemade cleaners. Instead of purchasing all your cleaning products at the store, try making some at home. This may include stain removers, fabric fresheners, and litter box deodorizers. Click here to get started!
